And no one realized it yet. — Dan Bilzerian is a marketing genius. His content attracted more than 30 million Instagram followers. He’s been invited to the hottest parties in the world (and got paid to do so), he hung out with everyone (Steve Aoki, Vin Diesel, Donald Trump…), and he built a brand worth $144 million…

The mindset shifts that helped me get there. — It all began in November 2019. I was a skill-less, broke, lost, and ignorant student who was only beginning to understand what he wanted out of life. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was about to read a book that would radically alter my future, namely, MJ…

Beware! — Every day, I check where my blog readers come from with the simple WordPress plugin “JetPack”. This morning, I saw a few people came from a website called “bestbookbits.com”.

After some investigation, I found out that Google Analytics also had a section dedicated to website speed (whoops). What I saw horrified me. It took on average 7 SECONDS to load my website…

I’ll be updating this list as I go! — I learned at a huge cost that the most important thing in life is to find people you enjoy. Being lonely, even in the most exciting city in the world, will suck the life out of you and you’ll move out — or jump out of the window. Likewise, being…

JP didn’t read ancient history. — Five million subscribers on Youtube, a highly publicized Twitter ban, tens of thousands of people for his book tour, and millions of books sold made Jordan Peterson “the most important intellectual in the West” (according to the NYT). The problem with JP today is that his popularity made him untouchable. …
